QAD DSCP Supply Chain Visibility

Nexteer employs a multi-tier software visibility system, DSCP (a QAD product), to proactively monitor and
mitigate supply risk in specific commodities. This visibility allows all parties to verify alignment in demand
and supply planning across multiple tiers, anticipate shortages based on perceived misalignment, and
proactively mitigate potential shortages. Commodities with long lead times are especially vulnerable to
disruption based on demand and supply misalignment, requiring a holistic supply chain view for multi-tier
inventory optimization, resource allocation, and demand anticipation for capacity planning.

Extracts of supply chain data from both Nexteer and supplier IT systems are analyzed by DSCP for
alignment, and exceptions are flagged for follow-up action. Shared supply chain specific data can be
accessed via a supplier portal, allowing Nexteer and suppliers access to a common data analytics tool
which leverages information from disparate data sources throughout the supply chain.

Suppliers who win business within the scope of DSCP shall work with Nexteer personnel to integrate all
data relevant to the commodity into the DSCP system, and this integration shall be retroactive to any
current business within the scope of DSCP functionality. Suppliers currently providing material within the
scope of commodities in DSCP will be required to integrate data on existing business into the supply chain
visibility system at the request of Nexteer.

Vontik/3PI
As part of our ongoing efforts to maintain, develop and properly manage our supply base, Nexteer regularly
monitors performance by tracking and investigating various aspects of our suppliers such as quality,
delivery, launch and financial health. We believe that a strong supply base is a competitive advantage that
allows us to deliver innovative, high quality products at a competitive price to our customer.

To better enable us to monitor financial health risk on an ongoing basis and avoid interruptions and delays
caused by supplier financial dilemmas, Nexteer has contracted with a third party to provide a financial data
entry system that generates ongoing high-level financial assessments on each of our suppliers. This
system, Vontik/3PI located at gtp.kpmg.com, requires that suppliers initially input certain financial and other
data and then provide updates on a quarterly basis.

Participation in this program is mandatory for all Nexteer direct material suppliers. It is imperative that you
fully participate in a timely manner (within 30 days of when you receive your invitation from
Vontik/3PI). Failure to take part will directly impact new business.

DocuSign
Nexteer may request documents to be signed electronically using DocuSign. DocuSign provides electronic
signature technology and Digital Transaction Management services for facilitating electronic exchanges of
contracts and signed documents. DocuSign meets statutes and regulations globally, utilizing industry
leading encryption standards, retention and storage practices and data security, to support the integrity and
legality of transactions. Information by country regarding the legal protection of eSignatures may be found
at https://www.docusign.com/how-it-works/legality/global. This guide covers current eSignature laws, local
legal systems, and electronic signature technology preferences for countries around the world.

It is Nexteer’s expectation that documents sent to the supplier via DocuSign, are signed and returned to
Nexteer by the supplier using this tool. Note: Registration is not required nor is there a cost to the supplier.

CQI-X Special Process Assessments

CQI-9

treat techniques, processes, and controls. The method for submission to Nexteer of this assessment is via
the CQI-X application within the Intelex system. An assessment that is no older than 12 months must be
